The Library Services Journal Club has been created as a way of implementing research into our own practice supporting the Library's vision of informing the delivery of world class healthcare to Territorians, through expertise, evidence and innovation.

 Goals

  • To share information and develop critical appraisal skills within the EBP process
  • Continuing professional development to keep up-to-date with the latest research
  • To improve the application of research into practice

 Frequency

  • The Journal Club is being held monthly, with a presenter leading a discussion on a chosen article. Articles and presentations are made available on this webpage after each session.
